I wonder if it may be the 105 net that operates HF packet under full automatic operation. They have been there for many years and so they start to think they have a right to the frequency.
I would suggest that it would be very unwise to be sending anyone any e-mail telling them to stay off a frequency. It might actually backfire and cause them and others to intentionally use the frequency much to the dismay of the complainer. Having said that, since the stations using automatic operation must operate within tiny slivers of the band, it would be good amateur practice for keyboarders and non automatic stations to not operate in those areas. I do admit that I have difficulty remembering all these different frequencies, band plans, preferences, etc. The band areas for fully automatic operation: "97.221 (b) A station may be automatically controlled while transmitting a RTTY or data emission on the 6 m or shorter wavelength bands, and on the 28.120-28.189 MHz, 24.925-24.930 MHz, 21.090-21.100 MHz, 18.105-18.110 MHz, 14.0950-14.0995 MHz, 14.1005-14.112 MHz, 10.140-10.150 MHz, 7.100-7.105 MHz, or 3.620-3.635 MHz segments." For stations with semi-automatic operation (one of the two stations is under human control), operation is allowed throughout the band segment for that type of mode providing that the bandwidth does not exceed 500 Hz. If the bandwidth exceeds 500 Hz, then even semi-automatic operation must be done inside those narrow subbands, hence Pactor 3 operation must currently fit into these slivers if semi automatic operation is used. 73, Rick, KV9U -----Original Message----- From: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Danny Douglas Sent: Monday, November 21, 2005 20:56 To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [digitalradio] Olivia user warned off 14105.5 ! Looking at the band plan, as published by ARRL: 14.105- 14.112 IS listed as packet freqs, for all that that means. 14.230 is listed as SSTV - and we all know how often that is followed, especially during SSB contests (this past weekend.) Also, the ARRL speaks only for US amateurs within the CONUS and a few outlaying US territories and foreign stations mostly ignore their "band-plans" In cases of emergencies, the FCC announces, and the ARRL publishes specific freqs that are to be used ONLY by stations who are working emergency traffic. That does not preclude any ham station from using any ham frequency during certain emergency situations, including ones they are not licensed for. It is well known that band plans are "suggestions" and NOT the law. It IS the law, that if a station is working on a frequency, another one is NOT allowed to interfere with ongoing communications. I would have personally taken that message, if it were sent to me, and forwarded it on to the FCC , with a suggestion that I took it for a threat, and therefore request the FCC to take immediate action against the author.
